World is currently going through many problems. Man cannot create solutions. Political extremism, state extremism and pro-political extremism have cropped up. Water is not available even after reaching 700 feet depth. Freebies are thrown like meat for dogs. Society should be careful. Is the society atleast as much cautious as dogs. Bearded sheep cannot preach economic solutions to gang of wolves. Social situation is like this. Human intelligence cannot correct economic crisis. Everyday 35000 children are dying in the world out of hunger. On the other side, there are people who eat more than enough and take tablets for digestion. They go for walking and jogging. They are obsessed with reducing their belly. On one side there is abject poverty and on the other side there is unrestrained lifestyle. World is teetering. New and unknown diseases are surfacing. Swine flu, dengue and chickengunia continue as threats. Ozone layer is receding. Climate changes are occurring. There is drought in rainy season and rains in summer. Seasons are changing. Water reservoirs are drying up. Decency levels are going shockingly low. 25 years back, women used to stick to walls and hide when men pass by. Nowadays, seeing women obscenity, men are having to stick to walls and leave way. 50 percent women in Belgium are conceiving without marriage. Divorce rate is 59 percent. It is 51 percent in Sweden. Media is arranging skin shows and fashion competition. Human genius cannot meet the challenges. Youngsters are losing potency in young age. TV is mentoring children with vulgarity. Everyone is having hundreds of friends in Facebook. Social media is spreading sins. Cultural deterioration is appalling. A Muslim is ashamed to call himself a Muslim. Spiritual paucity and Tajjal mindset are becoming evident. There is no concern for Akhirat. Knowledge is foundation. Wahi (revelation) is building. Knowledge is eye and Wahi is vision. Holistic knowledge will solve problems.
